Chapter 350: Chapter 350: Planning to Take a Look at Him?_1
The news Ding Xiao brought back could be said to be the best news I had heard in recent times.

Although this news didn’t have much substantial progress, I was very satisfied.

“Once this case is concluded, I will go to the United States to see him!”

“Sure! However, the doctor said there should be hope for a cure within three months, so they told us not to worry. Sigh, Miss Jiang really did her best this time, she helped us a lot.”

“Uh…”

Ding Xiao seems to have a pretty good impression of Jiang Jiaying.

I kept silent about this.

After all, if she could really help Ding Yinuo, I, of course, would be grateful to her.

But why did I see a hint of mocking smile in her eyes when I saw her earlier? What did that mean?

I was somewhat perplexed.

“Do you have any concerns about this case recently?”

“No!”

“Then do you plan to take a look at him?”

“No, I won’t!”

Why should I look at him?

To look at the person who killed my whole family?

Although Song Siwen is just my cousin, he is equivalent to family to me.

Ding Xiao nodded, patted my shoulder, “If you need to arrange a funeral, I’ve got friends who can help you with that.”

“Hmm, no rush for now!”

Right now, Song Siwen’s body is still at the funeral home.

I need to wait for the case to be sentenced, then go to the United States to bring my aunt back, and find time to bury Song Siwen;

This is a tragedy, really, and I don’t want to deal with these things.

Two more days passed.

Finally, the day of the court trial arrived.

I got up very early, sitting alone in front of the vanity, combing my hair, and thinking for a very long time.

At eight o’clock sharp, Wenya brought breakfast over.

“Fried rice noodles and milk tea, eat a little!”

When Wenya came in, she was radiant and singing that today was a good day.

I shook my head, “I don’t have an appetite!”

Wenya set down the packed breakfast and sat opposite me, cupping my face in her hands, “Why such dark circles? And, your lips are all chapped.”

“I didn’t sleep well last night!”

“What else are you worrying about? That Gu Yuanzhou is going to get out and harm you guys?”

“A bit! I can’t exactly say what I’m worried about! I just feel very anxious!”

Wenya spread her arms and hugged me,

“It’s okay! After today, the rest of your life will be filled with bright, sunny days. Listen to me, be good, eat your breakfast, and later put on some beautiful makeup. I heard from Su Peisheng that during the hearing, you will have to attend as a witness. You might have to confront Gu Yuanzhou face to face! So, you need to dress up beautifully, you need to show him, that without him, your life is even more splendid. From now on, while he becomes a prisoner, you will ascend to the pinnacle of your life.”

“Oh!”

After being persuaded by Wenya for a while, I still picked up some chopsticks and forced a few bites of the fried rice noodles.

Really, I had no appetite, I just forced it down.

I then drank a cup of milk tea as well.

Half an hour later.

Su Peisheng came over, looking every inch the professional in his suit and leather shoes.

He was carrying a briefcase and after entering, he took out some documents and organized them.

“You’re about to go to court, so you need to keep a steady mindset. The defense attorney will definitely try to trouble you and lure you into discussing things irrelevant to the case. You must stay calm and not let them lead you astray,” he said.

“Yes, I know!”

“Take a look at this material. I’ve deduced some questions the opposing lawyer might ask. Review the answers now to avoid giving the wrong ones in court,” he advised.

“Alright!”

Su Peisheng was quite thoughtful, he had organized all the potential scenarios and printed them out for me.

I sat down to read through them slowly.

Meanwhile, Su Peisheng was sitting on the sofa, chatting with Wenya.

“I heard Gu Yuanzhou has been pulling strings and greasing palms lately. Given his clout in A City, he must have many friends he can call on. I’m afraid we might lose this case, and if he’s only sentenced to a few years, he could earn early release by performing meritorious services. Wouldn’t that just bring trouble to Ayun again?” he asked.

“I’ve thought of all that you mentioned. To prevent Gu Yuanzhou from having the chance to get out, we’re aiming for life imprisonment. These past few days, we haven’t been idle either; we’ve collected a lot of evidence. That includes the car accident involving Ding Yinuo; we’ll trace it back to Gu Yuanzhou, painting him as an accomplice, or even the instigator. Additionally, we will aim the spearhead at him in the Golden Bay arson case,” she replied.

“But wasn’t it said that there’s no evidence for the Golden Bay arson case?”

“True, there’s no evidence, but if you list all these points, he at least becomes a suspect. If there’s suspicion, the judge will also deem him a morally corrupt person. If he’s already seen as a heinous criminal, then no one will believe his self-defense claim. It’s about creating a presumption, making everybody think he’s a bad person, which labels him as one,” she explained.

“Su Fagun, I never imagined you could be so formidable! You can really play the game like this?”

“Heh, ‘Su Fagun,’ are you looking for a thrill?”

Su Peisheng flicked Wenya’s forehead with his finger.

Wenya dodged with a laugh, “Mr. Su, you better work hard. If you can manage to keep that scumbag Gu locked up for life, I’ll give you a bonus!”

“Forget the bonus! How about sending some benefits my way?”

“Buzz off, what benefits!”

There, Wenya was flirting and teasing Su Peisheng.

The doorbell rang, and when I went to open the door, Jiang Jiaying was standing outside.

She looked at me, surprise evident on her face,

“You live here?”

“Where else? Ding Yinuo and I are married, we’ve got our certificate. If I don’t live here, where should I?”

Jiang Jiaying’s expression turned slightly awkward as she pulled her suitcase,

“I’ve only been back from the United States for a few days, and I have to go there again tomorrow. The doctors in the United States say they need some personal items from the patient’s past to stimulate him and evoke his memories. If you don’t mind, can I come in and take some things?”

“What do you need?”

“Clothes and such,” she said.

“Please come in,” I offered.

“Thank you!”

I let Jiang Jiaying in and then went to collect some of Ding Yinuo’s clothes from the bedroom.

Wenya ran in and closed the door, asking me, “Why did you let her in?”

“To take some things for Ding Yinuo,” I replied.

I packed up a couple of Ding Yinuo’s pajama sets, suits, and casual wear, then put everything in a suitcase.

When I brought it out to the living room, I found that Jiang Jiaying had already gone to Ding Yinuo’s study. She was rummaging through it, stuffing any book she found into her suitcase.

Wenya whispered in my ear, “This woman is so rude! Walking in and out like she owns the place.”

I wasn’t angry, and replied indifferently,

“She used to date Ding Yinuo; she might have lived here before.”

“You think she’d be aware to avoid suspicion now that she knows you’re married to Ding Yinuo, wouldn’t you? Or is she up to something else?”
